Do I Need A Dumpster Rental or a Junk Removal Company?
Oftentimes, after finishing a big home project or cleaning out a particularly cluttered room, you’re left with an overwhelming pile of junk and trash that can make you feel like you’ve only succeeded in creating another job for yourself. Determining the best way to get rid of junk can be a more daunting task than one would assume, and it isn’t always as simple as just throwing everything out.
DIY junk removal can be stressful — with so much stuff, it can be difficult figuring out a path to take. Do you haul it off to the dump using your vehicle over dozens of trips? Do you rent an unsightly dumpster and accept the fact that figuring out what to keep and throw away was just the first step in a gigantic progress? Or, do you do yourself a favor and contact the best residential junk removal in San Antonio, JunkStart?
When you’ve reached this point, and you’re staring at a mountain of stuff and don’t know what to do, JunkStart has your back and will help you take the last steps into your new clutter-free existence.
How Does JunkStart Beat The Dumpster?
When dealing with a lot of junk that you need to get rid of, it can be tempting to rent a dumpster for a few days and simply do all the work yourself. While DIY solutions are often perfectly fine, there are two main considerations you should think about before having that dumpster dropped off on your driveway.
Permits & Fines
If you’re considering renting a dumpster, remember that where you intend to place the dumpster and who you rent it from can create stress in your life. In most areas, parking the rental on a residential driveway requires no special permits. But as soon as you need to place a rental dumpster on public property, like a street or parking lot, a whole mess of permits and potential fines pop up.
Project Timeline
During a sizeable cleanup project, it may be tempting to rent a dumpster for a week so you can enjoy the convenience of throwing things away as they come up. However, junk removal is a situation where that convenience can actually harm you in the long run.
Cleanup/junk removal projects can be overwhelming. There is often a lot that needs to be done that gets separated into individual tasks to make it manageable. Having a dumpster nearby can remove a sense of urgency and could potentially lead to an extended timeline and force you to work harder.
The benefit of choosing a junk removal service over a dumpster is clear. All you need to do is separate your belongings into piles and our professionals will do the rest. What a dumpster may cause you to drag out over a week, our professionals should be able to handle it in a day or two.
Expense
While the cost of professional junk removal may initially seem expensive, there are a lot of factors that make that cost more than worth it. Professional junk removal promotes efficiency and professionalism. Additionally, as a one-time expense, you always know what you’re paying for ahead of time. Whereas, renting a regular spot to throw away junk can remove a sense of urgency and cause a project to drag out longer than it should.
When thinking about cost, it’s also important to consider your labor. Your time is valuable and our professionals could save you hours, if not days of your life by finishing up the junk removal part of any project for you.
In addition, the rental companies who have a monopoly on your area are free to charge homeowners whatever they deem fit. You may be forced to invest more money than you’d like simply because the availability of dumpsters is at the discretion of competing dumpster companies.
